Terry McGovern
Mr. McGovern has authored seven books and numerous articles on fortifications, four of those books being for Osprey’s Fortress Series (American Defenses of Corregidor and Manila Bay 1898-1945; Defenses of Pearl Harbor and Oahu 1907-50; American Coastal Defenses 1885-1950; Defenses of Bermuda 1612-1995). He has also published 12 books on coast defense and fortifications through Redoubt Press or CDSG Press. Terry was Chairman of the US-based Coast Defense Study Group (CDSG) and continues to be a long-time officer of CDSG. He has also been the editor of the Fortress Study Group annual journal, FORT. He is a director of the International Fortress Council and the Council on America’s Military Past.
As can be seen, Terry brings a vast knowledge of coastal defense history to FMHA and will be a valuable resource and contributor to the continuing restoration and development of the Fort Miles Museum.
